  September 24, 2023 - Tonight, fourteen years after first tasting of this wine, the fill level, foil, label and most importantly, the cork, were all in pristine condition. This was a perfect wine-food pairing to the tangy beef bolognese tomato and herb sauce, enhancing the enjoyment of both.
  
  The wine was showing its age a bit with the dark garnet colored taking on an ever so slight brownish hue, and the bright expressive fruits had taken on a bit more rustic tone with the tobacco and earthy notes becoming more pronounced, the medium-fill bodied, concentrated, complex black currant and blackberry fruits accented by spice, anise and hints of mint and pepper with smooth soft acidity and chewy tannins on the lingering finish.

  January 14, 2014 - Was a little better than expected given the reviews here, but I thought it was a decent wine for the price. A little tannic, but otherwise good.
